What are the five elements of fortune telling?

How to calculate the five-element attribute of eight characters

The theory of four pillars and eight characters has a long history and has undergone many evolutions in the process of inheritance. So far, there are two main ways to judge the five elements of eight-character fortune telling:

Xing Wu, Yin Na;

Do five elements every day.

Yin Na's five lines are in the early stage of the development of the eight-character theory, mainly in the Tang Dynasty (the representative figure of this period is Li, and the representative work is Li Life Letters). In this period, what a person's eight characters and five elements belong to is generally judged according to the year of birth. With the year as the reference point or coordinate, there is a formula to judge the five elements. Take the following "eight characters" as an example.

For example, if you were born in September, 2000 1 12, you will find that the year corresponding to this date is the year of Chen Geng. Then, by comparing it with the five elements table of Sixty Jiazi, you will find the poem where Chen Geng is: Chen Geng Xinsi Bailajin (as shown below). Just say that this person belongs to gold, which is platinum.

The second method is to discuss a person's five elements in his daily work (birthday). This came into being after Xu Ziping, a master of the Song Dynasty (because of him, eight-character fortune-telling is also called Ziping) developed the eight-character theory. From then to now, life theory is based on daily work as a reference point or coordinate system. This is a major breakthrough and development. Everyone has been talking about the Five Elements since Xu Ziping.

For example, in the above example, the sun is "nonyl", and the lookup table shows that nonyl water is water, so the five elements are water (as shown in the following table).
